There is an added dimension here, which you should report to your chemistry teacher. This question is a bit naive.
Explanation:
When we fill a car tyre, we measure
And so I think here that you gots an absolute pressure of ..
...and so reconverting....we got a pressure of...
Anyway the question is very poorly proposed, and is unfair either way. Discuss this with your teacher. It is a fact that all automobile tyre pumps use
